How long/far will we ride each day? Do I have to participate in the entire distance?

Our single day tours range from 80 to 145 km per day. On our Georgian Bay-Muskoka tours, we aim for 60-80km per day, with one longer day of ~120km, and the Pedal, Pints and Pub tour rides are ~ 25-30 km per day. Each individual tour description has more precise details about daily distances. At any time in the tour you may take advantage of the van support and get a lift if you need a break.

Is there road support? How many guides are on each tour?

Yes, there will be vehicle support for every tour. This will include snacks, drinks, mechanical assistance, and a lift for participants who need a break from riding. On multi day trips there will usually be one tour guide on the road cycling with you and one tour guide in the vehicle for support and assistance. On single day trips, the guides usually stay in the vehicles.

What happens if there is bad weather?

The tours go on rain or shine. Our guides may adjust the timing or route of the daily ride to accommodate weather or other conditions. In rare circumstances a ride may be cancelled based on the guide's judgement. If a single day tour is cancelled by Humdinger due to weather, participants will be offered a new date or a refund.

How many people will be in each tour group?

Multi-day tours will typically have a range of 6-12cyclists. Single day tours will have up to 50 cyclists. However, if you want a custom tour with fewer or more cyclists, this can be arranged.

Is it necessary to bring my own bike or will I be able to rent one?

Rentals occur through our bike shop partners. Although the bicycles available for rental will be excellent quality, we are aware that the most comfortable option for many cyclists may be to have their own bicycle. You are most welcome to bring your own equipment; rentals are available for riders who may choose not to bring their own bikes.

What equipment is necessary?

All of our packaged tours are designed for road bikes, so a road bike in good working order is best for the tour. You can bring or rent one. For the Pedal, Pints and Pubs Tour, a straight-bar hybrid with road tires is a reasonable compromise. E-bikes are generally welcome on all tours - please contact us to discuss.

Do I have to be an intermediate or expert cyclist to partake in the tours?

Our Pedal, Pints, and Pubs tour is designed for novices, and all others are for intermediate/advanced cyclists. Our single day tours are designed for experienced road cyclists who are comfortable to ride the tour distances (80-145 km) at an average pace of ~ 25km/hour. As our multi-day Georgian Bay-Muskoka tours typically range from 60-80km per day, up to 6 days in a row, these tours are designed for experienced cyclists who are in good physical condition. If you are experienced but feel wary about the daily distances, don’t forget that there is always vehicle support during the tours, including rides for cyclists who may not be able to complete a ride. If you are a novice, you may want to consider the Pedal, Pints, and Pubs tour, or a custom tour.

What if I want to bring a non-cyclist with me on the tour?

This is possible! If you are interested in this, please contact us so that we can discuss details on how this will work. There may be a surcharge depending on what activities the non-cyclist wants to do.

How fast will we be riding each day?

These tours are not necessarily designed for speed. Although certain members of the group - depending on who is riding – may decide they want to ride fast, others may want to ride at a more moderate rate. Our guides are experienced in providing support to a range of different levels of riders. We will aim for an average speed of about 25km/h with breaks about once every 60-90 minutes, but this may end up being slower or faster depending on the group. If numbers allow, we will arrange an A group riding in the 25-30km/hr range and a B group riding in the 20-25km/hr range.

Is there a minimum age to take part in a tour?

You must be at least 18 to participate in a tour.
